  1. Intuitive drawing: "Pencil tool" in mode adding "Blob brush tool"

    Hi,
    I would like to be able to draw, draw and model using the Pencil Tool in edit mode like the "Blob brush tool".
    Eg.
    1 • Pencil Tool. I draw any shape.
    2 • I mark this shape and draw another one
    3 • The effect is the automatic joining of these shapes into one summary.

    Such a simple, fast and intuitive way to draw ketor shapes for the cartoonist.

    Attention.
    • Drawing with the "Blob brush tool" is a different shape effect without sharp lines. Eg saw. E.g. lasts or coat or hair cartoons.
    • drawing many objects…

  2. Option for drag select to ignore text paths

    Whenever I am working on an artboard for brand identity, I have a lot of text paths on objects. Whenever I try to click and drag over an element, it ALSO grabs the path of the text, which I do not want. Is there a way to only click and drag over the elements you want to touch without having to lock the text paths?

  3. Make the GPU renderer realize when it is grinding to a halt and turn itself off automatically.

    The GPU renderer is great. If you're on a machine with a hefty GPU. If you're not throwing a bunch of bitmaps and/or bitmap effects at it. If you're not working with a lot of overlaid transparency.

    If one or more of these is false, it starts slowing down the preview rendering. And not by microseconds. I have files that render the preview a little sluggishly, but still usably, with the CPU renderer, and take minutes to update with the GPU renderer.

    I myself have permanently turned off the GPU renderer, as I regularly fail all three of these ifs…

  5. Sell a 2 pick your own software Adobe bundle.

    I find the adobe suite to be too expensive, specially since I only use Pshop and Illustrator. But getting them individually is also too expensive. Would be awesome if Adobe provided us with a bundle for like 25 bucks where we could pick any two adobe programs if its the 20 dollar ones or 15 if its the 9.99 ones.

  6. Apple Touch bar with "slide bar" for setting values

    Hi,
    I suggest using the Touch Bar to display the slider in the window option with a value, e.g. stroke thickness,

  8. ワークスペースに記憶されるスウォッチ

    ワークスペースの機能をとても気に入っています。作業をしていてどんなにパネルをごちゃごちゃにしても、一発ですっきりと自分のお気に入りの環境に戻せるからです。

    しかし、残念なことがひとつあります。

    私は、よく使う色を、aiにまとめてスウォッチを作っています。
    そのスウォッチを読み込んで、そのパネルを、ワークスペース内の他のパネルとくっつけて、私の理想的なワークスペースをいくつか作りました。それに名前をつけて保存しておきました。

    ところが、Illustratorを再起動すると、ワークスペースから自作のスウォッチのパネルだけが無くなってしまいます。他のパネルの配置や状態は変わらないのですが、自作のスウォッチの状態だけは記憶されていないようです。

    ところが不思議なことに、新たにワークスペースを作って、Illustratorを終了するまでの間は、自作のスウォッチも含めて記憶されているように見受けられます。パネルの配置を変えてしまってから、「ウインドウ > ワークスペース」で保存したワークスペースのリセットを行うと、自作のスウォッチも含めて、元の状態に戻ります。

    ああ、素晴らしい。快適だなあと思うのですが..
    次にIllustratorを起動したときには自作のスォッチのパネルだけ忘れられているのです。とても惜しい。もうちょっとで完璧なのに!

  9. 「トリミング表示」を改善していただきたい。

    「トリミング表示」を改善していただきたい。
    アートボードが重なって複数存在する場合、一番大きなアートボードでトリミングされるようです。任意のアートボードを指定できると嬉しいです。ご検討お願いします。

  10. scale tool doesn't work in make pattern

    The scale tool currently does not do anything within pattern mode. Maybe this worked in previous versions, but would like to see all tools working within pattern mode on future updates

  12. Hide Selection and Show All

    Hide selection and show all, objects that we hide with the hide selection command should be warned when closing our working file. When we open the same file at a later time, we cannot know what we have hidden with the hide command. There should be a warning or sign when closing or opening the file.

  13. 境界線を隠すコマンドについて

    境界線を隠すコマンドを以前の仕様に戻してほしいです。
    せっかく境界線を隠すコマンドを使用しているのに、複数オブジェクトを選択するとはじめに選択したオブジェクトの境界が現れます。
    また、テキストの一部文章を選択した際も選択範囲が強調され、選択部分のみのカラー変更をする際に変更がリアルタイムに確認できません。

  16. Allow us to control the saving of cached copies of raster effects.

    I use a lot of raster effects in my work. A lot. I can easily have several thousand paths with effects on them. (Mostly Gaussian Blur, thanks for speeding that one up a few versions ago!)

    Some experimentation with saving multiple copies of an effect-heavy file with different raster effects resolutions confirmed my suspicion that the file size varies greatly with the effect PPI:

    300ppi: 70.8MB
    150ppi: 28.8MB
    72ppi: 14.4MB
    2ppi: 5.4MB

    Reloading the 300ppi copy made it obvious that there's a cache of raster effects in the file, as I didn't have to wait through a half a…

  17. Switching tabs doesn’t show the correct image in High Sierra

    It’is absolutely impossible to work on Illustrator 2020. I have version 24.2, and there constantly switching tabs doesn’t work correctly. No matter what tab I've selected, I can only see 1 file. This happens randomly, and I have to restart the program to get the tabs to work properly again.

    By the way, this is also observed in Photoshop 2020.

    This bug is at least one year old. I don’t know how to fix it.

    P.S. These screenshots are not mine (I don’t know how to cause this bug). But I have exactly the same situation

    There are times you want to delete artworks and the artboards as well. It would be lovely to do both in one command.
